Love my concert Mya-Moe with K&K Aloha Twin spot, but everyone raves about the Misi Acoustic trio.

What would You do?

::eek:
 
Personally, I would leave the vintage Martin alone! If you need an amplified baritone, buy one.
 
Same as above. If you want amplification, use a mic.

:agree: Same opinion as everyone else. Get a sound hole clip on mic if you want. I wouldn't modify a vintage Martin.

Now, if the bari has already been modified or updated so that it really isn't all original, then I'd go with a MiSi. :)
 
The best amplification for a Martin ukulele is...




"Professional entertainers use Mister Microphone for rehearsing."

Thanks for the thoughts. Undecided on what the outcome will be.

Sounds pretty sweet. Is all original with 3 hairline finish cracks on the upper neck. A a small ding on the headstock, some play wear on the top. Not even a strap button... which I think is a must. So light it feels like it will slip from hands.

Anyone ever source vintage strap buttons? ;)
 
again, I wouldn't touch it, get one of those Willie Nelson style straps that hook into the sound hole.
